Your opinion of Smith is warped if you would say this...

See, this is why people want DraftPlanet as a haven away from dumb****s who would rather have Alex Smith than Cam Newton.

I think you're confusing him with Casshole. And using his adjustment time to define him. Post bye he was anything but a pussy.

Guy that has the weapons he has to play with that shrinks in big games like he does.

No thanks.

LMAO

Nah. I just never have liked Newton because he is a run first QB. Isn't he the leading rusher on the team? And he takes too many sacks. Over 40 last year I believe. I said nope because I think he will get a career ending injury due to this play then where are you?

Yep, the DraftPlanet is a bastion of football genious. Smart folk who swore Sanchez, Clausen and Smith were all worthy of the #1 pick in the draft and certain to be elite QBs. Huzzah to the mental giants of the draft board and their high QB intellect.

Exactly. Put Smith in Dalton's shoes ad he wins a playoff game or more. Dalton wouldn't do as well as Smith with our offense. IMO.

In the fourth? Sure

Smith would wreck with that offense. He's never had weapons like that to work with.

Jones
Sanu
Gresham

That coupled with their solid OL and you're looking at one of the consistently best offenses in the league putting up 30+ points a game. Plus you wouldn't have to worry about having a mental midget like Dalton in the playoffs or in any big games. Smith would absolutely tear it up.

If I were the Bengals and the Chiefs were dumb enough to make the trade, I would trade Dalton for Smith if I wanted to win a championship in the 2014-15 season.

10 points in a playoff game against the Chargers defense, at home? That's a freaken joke.

Doubling down on stupid with the chokingest QB in the league no less.

And the main Lounge is a bastion of grounded, focused, and brilliant football commentary, where our favorite football team can be ****ing around with Matt Cassel as the starting QB for 4 years, and when anybody dares hope for something better, ****sharts like you go, "Yeah, but what if BUSTZ?????"

Meanwhile, Matt Cassel just threw another game-losing interception on a ****ing bubble screen against a division rival.

Sad, funny and true all at the same time.

It really just boils down to a majority of the people in the midwest being risk adverse. Given the choice of

A. Knowing you have a middle of the pack type QB already on the team

or

B. Risking a pick on a QB that could be a top 5 QB someday or could be a back up in 3 years

Most Chiefs fans go with A every time. I don't recall which radio personality I heard say it last week, but he nailed it when he was talking about a recent poll that showed a majority of Chief fans prefered Alex over Manziel and/or Bridgewater. He said "Chief fans don't want to dare to be great".

With the exception of Newton and Luck, neither of were ever getting near our draft position, they largely were in the Cassel era.

Alex is a much different situation, he's working out well AND not a lot of potential in that draft.

How about option C? Knowing we have better than average QB and spend the pick on a QB that could be great or a backup. That way if the young QB fails to be that franchise QB, you haven't set your team back in the process. The better than average QB keeps his job and you draft another QB that hopefully will be the franchise QB we all covet. Face it. Franchise quarterbacks are a very rare commodity. You have to keep trying to draft one, but Smith is not a QB you just discard. Until you know you have that guy, Smith will keep the team winning. Casshole? Now that's a bottom half QB that you can discard.
